We d...I will start by explaining J and I a little. We do not sleep next to each other. I am an insomniac and he snores. I used to sleep in a room next to them so I could still hear Jackson. I was never able to let Jackson cry it out. EVER. I could not do it. I was very weak that way as a mom. Plus being a light sleeper did not help. <br /><br />I eventually had to move my bed to the basement, turn on a box fan to drown out the noise, and let Jason take over. After a few sleepless nights for Jason he started telling me that he wasn't sure if Jackson had woke up in the middle of the night because he hadn't. Oh no! So maybe Jackson was getting up but Jason slept too hard to hear him?? So J wasn't there for our son when he needed him! I felt really awful about that at first but then it made me think...since the dawn of the human race there have been millions of times that mothers accidentally let there babies cry it out. Like they were so tired they slept through the crying a few times. It only took a few weeks of J taking over to get Jackson to sleep through the night. J would still check on him but he would make him cry for a loOOong time first. And then other times he just didn't wake up at all to check on him.<br /><br />9uh explained that Joe works nights so I know what J and I did wont work for you. But maybe you could go in a room farther away and turn on a fan so drown out outside noises? <br /><br />Maybe it's time to "accidentally" sleep through the night yourself? <br /><br />It's so hard. I really feel for you. I wish I had better advise.Cory Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908706769594325138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054196083237374792.post-49272006007440175262010-09-16T11:27:10.950-04:002010-09-16T11:27:10.950-04:00Cory should really take this one because I lived w...Cory should really take this one because I lived with her and her husband when their 18 month old wouldn't stay asleep either. She eventually left him cry it out, but it took a lot for her to get over the neglectful thing. And even then I don't think she ever fully ignored him.9uhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791897428273882892noreply@blogger.com
